Symptoms vary depending on the signature image (there are several), but
the general description is the signature doesn't print perfectly as
displayed on the computer screen. Signature prints, but there are either
thin lines at the image border, or seemingly random dots printed within
the image area. (Signatures were scanned at high quality into bmp
format and then are copied into document)

In word 2000 image prints fine - no unwelcome artifacts.
In word 2003 does not happen *if* document was not saved before printing.

How can this problem be fixed / avoided?

Thanks
